3 cents worth by Brandon Blatcher
Doing the Dew down by the road
While heading Southside last Saturday evening, me and the family came across this site, but the side of the road:
Yep, that’s an advertisement for James Dewberry, one of several candidates for mayor. On the one hand it’s a low tech and cheap way of advertising. On the other hand, I just want to go up to the truck and see if he’s selling fruit or shrimp, you know? I was instantly reminded of the truck that functioned as a sign for The Crab Shack. Since the restaurant wasn’t visible from the road, they stuck a truck by the roadside with directions for how to get there. It was nice, simple, kinda homey touch that doesn’t seem to translate to a political campaign.
While I was taking the picture, my wife went into Alvidaart Art Gallery to catch up with a friend and I joined them after a few minutes. We talked for about half an hour and then left to finally go to dinner, but when we came out, the truck was gone. That was a weird feeling. I get the point, the truck will be parked in all sorts of prominent places, but it just seems odd to have it disappear within a half hour. Almost sounds like a cheesy horror movie.
